This is really a strange problem which is happening on my friend's PC. I don't know the perfect configuration, but I think only the hard disk part matters now. My friend had to reinstall Windows recently. Since this was a reinstall, GRUB was overwritten and I wanted to reinstall GRUB. This didn't happen as SuSE constantly kept showing that it couldn't install. I thought something had gone bad with the CDs, but it wasnt' as I had installed GRUB just 2 days back on my system with the same CD. Now, due to some problem, Windows had to be reinstalled (again 
) To our surprise, we find that the files deleted in the Recycle Bin is intact even after formatting (both quick and complete) While checking with the defragmanter, we saw that the files were not at all removed, but it showed contigous files. It even started defragmenting!!!! Doing a chkdsk also didn't show any bad sectors or bad files. I have reinstalled Windows 3 times and the same thing is happening. Once even deleting the primary partition!!!!! GRUB is also not being written to the MBR due this problem. What exactly is the problem and how to fix it?
